Lift insurance at Cost.

Some fifteen years ago there was
a strong feeling among men of
moderate means, that Life Insur-
ance Was excessively costly, as es-
timated by the Insurance Co.'S. for
the risk assured by them Thus
many families were deprived of the
necessary protection. Thinking
men then began to search for a way
out of the difficulty. The first
step was tue ORGANIZATION of IRA
ternal and Benevolent Societies
As time went on practical lnsur
ance men became interested in the
subject, and founded and incorpor
ated Insurance Companies upon
the Mutual assessment plan based
upon business principles, and en-
braciDg all pnssihle safeguards to
enhance the security of the propo-
sition they offered the public at
larse.
Seven years ago the Home Bene-
fit Life Association of San Fran
cisco was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Cali ornia with
prominent San Francisco merchants
at Its head. 1t started out with a
determination to take its place In

moral condition of its risks, rather
than the prominence and influence
of men of note.

Observations by Lib. Hastings.
Lib. Hastings was down here
yesterday. and gave his views of the
stock market. Said he:
The gas racket is being worked
now. When stacks begin to brace
up some one goes along G Street
and shifts gas in the air. Con.
Virginia burning up, says he, and in
a minute it is all along the streets,
and away goes the market. Queer
gas this; don't seem to initiate. Pom
my soul, / think that they have
some contrivaDce fixed to the gas
mains, and by turning on the gas
when it is needed they knock
stocks and clean up a pile. A
thousand cubic feet of gas only cost
Sc, and 1t knocks the whole list
half a million. Powerful gas,
that"

THE STEAM LAsNDEY.
some Queer FIRE AXIS OF the man
aEement.


The Steam Laundry has again
been leased; this time to Mr.. Mans
field. The Laundry has hao many
uns and downs since it started, but
there has hardly been a week sine,
it started that 1T has not had suffi
cient PATRONAGE to pay all expenses
and have a surplus left.
The troubles with the Laundry
began when Fl. s. Mason went to
San Francisco and recklessly in
vested in machinery sufficient to
run a laundry three times the size
of this one. After it got started it
had no less than halt dozen bosses,
no end of book.keepers and collect
ors, and some how each one APP
peared to be looking out for him
self. Patronage was pouring in all
the time, and yet the hands did net
get paid, and the place was contin'
ually being threatened with attach
ments. All sorts of rnmors were
flying round, and several men con-
nected with the Laundry have been
charged on the streets with crooked
work. Where did the thousands of
dollars collected from the citizens
of Carson go to?
The Board of Trustees are not
held accountable for it, as they, too,
seemed to have very little to do
with the management. On one oc-
casion, when the Board went to ex-
anime the books they were snubbed,
and left the building with the idea
that they were in considerable luck
not to have been kicked cut. Yet
the same Trustees gave their indi-
vidual notes for the machinery, and
have had to pay several hundred
dollars apiece.
Another mystery connected with
the place is the remal kable disap-
pearance of clothes. Almost every
body has lost clothes, and yester
day the APPEAL editor was in
formed that over twenty bundles OF
clothes had been slowed awav In
house IN this city, said clothes hav-
ing been taken from the Laundry.
The women who worked like
slaves in the Ironing Department
were often unable to get their
wages, and on some occasions they
received as low as 40 cents a week
for their work. They say that GER
tain male help in the place got
their wages all right, but the wo-
men had to take what they could
get.
Ii half the reports are true about
the place, some of the checklist
cases In town have got their fms
In somewhere.
Since Mr.. Mansfield has taken
hold of it he Informs the APPEAL
that he cleared money above all ex-
penses, and this In the face of the
fact that scores of families disgust
ed with the loss of clothes and the
delay in washing, have gone back
to the Chinese.
The new management states that
it will pay for all clothes lost. and
soliclts the custom of the families
of this city. There is no reason
why, with honest, conscientious
management, the Laundry may not
be made to pay dividends to the
| stock holders
| The APPEAL recommends the
new management to the public, aud
hopes that it will be gwen a fair
chance to pull the Institution out
of the rut
